Sarasota's Garlic Basil Oil

Ingredients:
spices, basil, dried
oil, olive, salad or cooking
spices, garlic powder

Directions:
Basil -- This is the key - blanch your basil leaves.
Bring a small pot of water up to a medium boil and add the leaves for 20 seconds.
Remove immediately from the pot and add to a small bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and to retain the bright green color.
It only takes a minute to cool off the basil.
Remove from the water bath to a paper towel and make sure you let the basil dry off before you make the oil.
Oil -- Add your basil and garlic to the blender and pulse a couple of times to start the puree.
Then slowly drizzle in the olive oil with the blender on until smooth and creamy.
Just enjoy it!
